We need one player, thats it. Guys like Krasic, Vucinic, Matri, Vidal and Pirlo are great to have in a winning team cuz they're all way above average instead of filling the team with shit players like Pepe. Only thing we need right now is what they like to call a "franchise player" in american sports.
Well Marotta promised early in the transfer window that signing Vucinic would not prevent a top player arriving.

Yeah they are.

Not only do they arguably have a stronger starting XI, they also have stability and an established way of playing.
I think our squad is definitely stronger than Napoli's. They have a few players I would like but their style of play made even Cavani look world class.

I think 'WC singing' comments and 'promises' were there to just down play our real targets, so when for example we put in a bid for Vucinic , we don't end up negotiating Higuain's price for him with Roma.

First, they publicly declared how they rate the players. Comments of Aguero, Higuain, Vucinic and so on.

And second, there's this supposed '30+mil saving' of our budget for signing of a WC player :rolleyes: so with our tight budget when we say 15mil for Vucinic, Roma better think twice before rejecting it when they clearly wanted to sell the player.

and that was pretty much the case if you guys remember Roma asked for
20+mil at first, then it all cooled down and suddenly Sabatini came out with those comments which apparently he accepted the intial offer.

He is pretty close. He is already that for Villareal and with us he could get there. Anyway, I'd happily take Rossi this summer and a WC left winger next summer.

I'm still pissed that we didn't even try for Suarez though.
Suarez was my dream. I don't know if he would've came here though, the EPL is much more attractive right now.

Napoli have done a decent job of adding depth over the last wee while, but they'd still be fucked if Hamsik/Cavani/Lavezzi got injured for any amount of time.

They have a playing style and formation that suits the players they have. Credit goes to Mazzarri and De Laurentiis for making that happen.

Juve haven't managed to get the right combination of system, style and players since Ranieri left.

Gifting away Melo to buy Vidal is idiotic.
But after already wasting so much cash, the transfer window has entered in its last month and we have yet to see a left winger.

Giving away Amauri and Quaq for free, must even more moronic...
These two pieces of transfer actions combined, must the worst combo of the last decade (at least)
what a waste, we could have got some decent LW and LB instead, complete our team and set the base for smth competitive in the future...

There is no way Napoli's big 3 can remain in 100% health next year with CL, especially after being 100% all of last year. It must be impossible.

This is the only solution for you at this point.
